FAQs of Vee Bee Consistometer:
Q: How is the Vee Bee Consistometer used to measure concrete consistency?
A: To measure concrete consistency, fresh concrete is placed into the transparent Perspex chamber using the supplied slump cone and tamping rod. A glass disc is positioned atop the sample, then the machine is activatedmotor-driven vibrations are applied, and the mechanical timer records the time (Veebee seconds) until the concrete is fully compacted.
Q: What benefits does the transparent Perspex chamber offer during testing?
A: The transparent Perspex chamber allows clear visual observation of the specimen throughout the test, enabling the operator to monitor compaction progress accurately and ensure reliable, reproducible results.
Q: When should the Vee Bee Consistometer be used in concrete testing?
A: This equipment is best used in laboratories to determine the workability of fresh concrete, especially where precise measurement of consistency is needed. It is crucial in quality control and research settings before concrete is poured at construction sites.
Q: Where is the Vee Bee Consistometer typically installed or used?
A: Designed as a bench-top unit, the Vee Bee Consistometer is commonly used in laboratory environments, including research institutions, construction material testing labs, and quality assurance facilities.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the Vee Bee Consistometer?
A: After each test, remove the slump cone, disc, and other accessories for thorough cleaning. Wipe the Perspex chamber and steel frame with a mild detergent solution, and ensure that no concrete residue remains on moving parts to maintain optimal performance.
Q: What makes the Vee Bee Consistometer compliant with IS: 1199 and ASTM C1170 standards?
A: The device meets dimensional, operational, and performance parameters specified in IS:1199 and ASTM C1170, ensuring credible, standardized, and internationally recognized test results for concrete consistency.
